Did he say what to set it to in order to prevent the bug? Or has someone else figured that out?

Just set brace for hits to Never for kick returners and they’re kneeling it in the endzone. Haven’t seen a return yet.

Good info! I was thinking it could be fatigue but this makes sense also. I'm still afraid to DL though

I saw that response from Clint. He did say that... bad_philanthropy is not seeing things. S,o its good news I guess that EA is aware of the issue.

This is frustrating though, it will probably be a week or two before a patch comes out to fix what this patch broke.

What's funny (sad?) is that they put out 1.08 to fix that 1.07 broke scouting reports, now they will have to put out 1.09 to fix what 1.08 broke... which will probably break something else entirely.

I dunno man, I'm giving these jokers one more chance to put out a patch, if the next one breaks something, I'm done with this game this year. As it is from now until they fix this I will have to super-sim all kick-offs and CPU offense to give the CPU a fair shot at running. So now I am going to literally sim half of my games until this is fixed.

Good find, at least we can do that if we dont want to super sim all CPU offense and returns.

Aaaaaand back we are... fixing and bug testing EA's games and patches for them.

I posted this as a reply because as a Sim gamer, there are no negative Brace Traits really.
“This is actually a good thing if AI players still sprint having the other Brace Traits because it’s another element to differentiate ball Carriers. Makes those hard AI runners that much more special w/in the game. A negative trait for a ball carrier to have”


We want Player Differentiation and other Sim elelments that sometimes those awkward hiccups in the game actually favor the Sim playing Style, but Sim folk are sometimes too quick to ask for a fix/tune to something that could actually be a good thing for the community.

**Pre-Draft editing bug is a big one that comes to mind, now we’re begging for Pre-Draft Class editing to be added.

If it’s turns out to be triggered by only the “Brace for all hits” Trait, Sim gamers should want to keep it so that there’s finally a negative Trait that affects a player.
- think of it as the fast sprinter that’s scared of contact, that doesn’t run as fast through traffic (ie D. McFadden)

Its good that the game differentiates between types of runner, but bad that it makes a (prevalent) type always make the wrong decision.
